Keywords Urban agriculture; community gardening; local food; legislation; Glasgow; Scotland Word Count: 98378 2 1. Introduction Urban agriculture (UA) has burgeoned across the global north as a collective movement that seeks to address various social, economic and environmental challenges. It has proven popular in ‘shrinking’ post-industrial cities struggling with urban abandonment and long-term vacancy (Vitiello 2008, Gallagher 2010, Pothukuchi 2011), and has been championed as a solution to health and wellbeing problems such as as obesity and stress (Davis et al. 2011; Van Den Berg et al. 2011), poor access to food (Vitiello 2008), community fragmentation (Alaimo et al. 2010), and urban abandonment (LaCroix 2010). Researchers have argued that ‘greening’ the city through practices such as community gardening can increase stagnant land values and help to build social capital (Glover et al. 2005, Schilling and Logan 2008). As a result, UA has been hailed as a therapeutic and collaborative activity that empowers communities (Sempik et al. 2006, Viljoen et al. 2005). Once “the ultimate oxymoron” (Morgan 2015, p. 1385), UA has increasingly begun to involve a diverse bricolage of civil society groups, charities, local business and public institutions. Yet, despite these positive community impacts and the growing number of people and organisations engaged in UA, backing from government(s), both at the local and regional/national level, has remained uneven and, as a result, UA has tended to occupy a precarious physical space in the city (Thirbert 2012, Henderson and Hartsfield 2009). The aim of thisthis paper is to introduce demonstrate how urban agricultural practice has emerged and evolved in one part of the Scottish city of Glasgow. This exploratory case study offers an empirical examination of four projects on the Southside of the city to illuminate how UA has developed, where it is situated, and what types of state and non-state actors are involved in its practice. So far, this nascent movement has received only limited scholarly attention, notably by Crossan et al. (2016), who theorise that UA in Glasgow has taken the form of a collaborative grassroots citizenship that supports urban regeneration and builds bridges between local and institutional actors. The authors of this earlier paper characterise this phenomenon as a form of ‘DIY Citizenship’ and contend that the citizens involved in this movement are engaged in the process of building a new ‘material environment’ drawn from their own unique cultural and historical standpoint(s). Reflecting on the four projects explored in this paper, as well as the wider context for UA in Glasgow, it is argued we make the argument that local, regional and national 3 governments have a collective role to play in creating the conditions for local UA projects to flourish as both grassroots and state-supported entities. Drawing upon the Glasgow case, the paper identifies we identify a series of emergent policy pathways for UA practice in the city, and demonstrates that local government can assume a diverse leadership role as a promoter,

Combined with historical conditions, it can perpetuate existing inequality through residential sorting. This dissertation contributes to the literature in residential sorting and hedonic valuation to understand how preference heterogeneity affects location decisions and social welfare. In chapter 2, I estimate the hedonic prices of particulate matter and nitrogen oxide using panel data from Glasgow, Scotland under a variety of functional form assumptions. I find that housing prices are the most elastic with respect to PM2:5 and the least elastic with respect to NOx. The hedonic price for all pollutants decreased from 2001 to 2011. At the median pollutant level, housing price elasticity of PM2:5, PM10, and NOx are -0.2 to -0.46, -0.17 to -0.48, and -0.05 to -0.3 respectively.

Executive Summary The City of Glasgow has a long tradition in the pursuit of a high quality built environment and public realm, continuing to the present day. This strategy represents the next steps in this tradition by setting out how open space should be planned, created, enhanced and managed in order to meet the priorities for Glasgow for the 21st century. This is not just an open space strategy. It is a cross‐cutting vision for delivering a high quality environment that supports economic vitality, improves the health of Glasgow’s residents, provides opportunities for low carbon movement, builds resilience to climate change, supports ecological networks and encourages community cohesion. This is because, when planned well, open space can provide multiple functions that deliver numerous social, economic and environmental benefits. Realising these benefits should be undertaken in a way that is tailored to the needs of the City. As such, this strategy examines the priorities Glasgow has set out and identifies six cross‐cutting strategic priority themes for how open space can contribute to meeting them.

  • South East Glasgow Community Health and Care Partnership Health Improvement Plan 2006/07 Draft
    SOUTH EAST GLASGOW COMMUNITY HEALTH AND CARE PARTNERSHIP HEALTH IMPROVEMENT PLAN 2006/07 DRAFT DRAFT 1 FOREWORD Alan Stewart Chair, South East Community Health & Care Partnership (CHCP) This Plan sets out a programme for change and action to improve health and reduce the ‘inequalities gap’ of the people of South East Glasgow. Change in the way health and social care services are delivered and accessed and action that breaks the cycle of deprivation and helps build local communities where no one is held back by disadvantage. Delivering this agenda will require new ways of thinking to support and encourage people to take greater control for their own health and new ways of working that will win the support and commitment of our staff and the people we serve. Anticipating need, improving local access and shifting the balance of care from institutions with less reliance on hospital based and accommodated care to care closer to home will require greater collaboration and involvement from all partners. It is our intention to actively encourage service users, carers and the people of South East Glasgow to participate in local service planning, service modernisation and service delivery. We will also seek to secure involvement from all staff groups and key organisations. Targeting resources locally on the most vulnerable and those with greatest need to tackle lifestyle issues and those factors that are often considered outside the health domain will also be a key objective for us. These factors or determinants include: housing, education, employment status and living in a community where people feel safe from crime and anti social behaviour.
